A round table discussion on the new Kander and Ebb musical The Scottsboro Boys, directed by Susan Stroman. The musical, now at New York’s Vineyard Theater, is based on the tragic 1930’s case in Alabama where nine young black men were arrested and imprisoned, some for the rest of their lives, for crimes they did not commit. Our panel includes composer John Kander (Fred Ebb died in 2004 while working on this musical), director Stroman, and two actors appearing in the production, Colman Domingo and Brandon Victor Dixon, who performs one of the numbers from the show’s beautiful score.
